NZ On Air Music‘s Making Tracks June 2016 funding results have been released!

In the last round of Making Tracks before splitting the funding into New Music Single and New Music Project (read more about it here), the panel of judges was made up of former core Kiwi FM DJ Charlotte Ryan who now works at Neil Finn‘s Roundhead Studios, Gemma Syme of RDU in Christchurch, Ian (Blink) Jorgensen of A Low Hum, NZOA’s own Jeff Newton, publicist Nicole Thomas and The Edge‘s Reagan White.

The first New Music Single funding round closes on Friday July  1 at 5pm. The application process for New Music Single funding is very similar to Making Tracks and if you have already registered and completed your criteria details for the Making Tracks system your information will still be in place.

The first New Music Project funding round will close on August 12. You can find more information about it here.

NZOA says 161 artists applied for funding in this round which makes it the second highest amount of applications in any round since Making Tracks began five years ago.
